Within seven days from the date of the evaluation meeting with their supervisor, the employee may file a written rebuttal/appeal of any portion of the evaluation. The written rebuttal/appeal shall state the specific content of the evaluation with which the employee disagrees, a statement of the reason(s) for disagreement, and the amendment to the evaluation requested.
If a written rebuttal/appeal is received by the supervisor within seven (7) days, the supervisor may conduct additional meetings or investigative activities necessary to address the rebuttal/appeal. Subsequent to these activities, and within a period of ten (10) working days, the supervisor may provide the employee with a written response either amending the evaluation or stating the reason(s) why the supervisor will not be amending the evaluation as requested.
If the supervisor chooses to amend the evaluation, then the amended copy of the evaluation will be provided to and signed by the employee. The original amended evaluation will be forwarded, in a sealed envelope, marked Personnel-Evaluation, to the Superintendent, or designee, for review. The supervisor will also retain a copy of the completed form.
If the supervisor chooses not to amend the evaluation, then the evaluation along with the written rebuttal/appeal, and the supervisor’s response, if any, will be forwarded, in a sealed envelope, marked Personnel-Evaluation, to the Superintendent, or designee, for review. The supervisor will also retain a copy of the completed evaluation including any rebuttal/appeal and responses.
